If so, it unfortunately currently suffers from a lack of maintenance: github.com/jupyterlab/j...

So hopefully there will be a solution for this because JupyterLab Desktop definitely helps address the "Getting Started" usability issue you mentioned.

One challenge is also to agree on what needs to be included by default. And if some of these extensions are not official, how to make sure they get proper support and maintenance.

Thanks 👍

Do you think it would already be an improvement if JupyterLab shipped with a couple of useful extensions like LSP or code formatting? For example in a different metapackage.

Jeremy Tuloup @jtp.io · Aug 19

Indeed!

Although given the complexity dependency management, virtual environments, and all the different deployment scenarios, maybe a good starting point would be to explore this in an extension first.

I just tried it.

The fact that "input" now works is a major, major game changer.

I just tried a few other things, and they all work perfectly -- certainly perfectly enough for my "Python for non-programmers" class.

Wow. Kudos to the entire Jupyter team. I'm so impressed and delighted.

Coming soon in the next JupyterLite release:

ℹ️ Improved kernel loading indicator

Sometimes it can be difficult to know if there is an issue when starting a kernel, or if the kernel has finished loading. So we're working on making it easier to check the kernel state and access the logs.

JupyterLab 4.4.0b1 and Notebook 7.4.0b1 are available for testing 🎉
- improved code console
- settings import/export
- better real time collaboration
- workspace indicator
- kernel subshells

Please test:

pip install --pre 'jupyterlab>=4.4.0b1'

or

pip install --pre 'notebook>=7.4.0b1'

The option to change console prompt position is available under the three dots button in the console toolbar, which is the last toolbar button

Toggling all the three new settings transforms the console into a single cell

The Import and Export buttons in the Settings Editor are the first two items in the toolbar panel

The workspace indicator in the open state
